Lift Inspections
We offer independent lift inspections for clients who want to ensure their equipment is safe, well-maintained, and performing as it should. Whether it’s a stairlift in a private home or a commercial lift across a large site, we provide expert, unbiased assessments tailored to your needs.
These inspections are ideal for checking that maintenance is being carried out properly, verifying the condition of a lift after repairs, or simply gaining peace of mind with a second opinion.
What’s Included:
-
A thorough check of key safety systems and components.
-
A review of recent maintenance and repair work.
-
Functional testing of the lift in normal and emergency conditions.
-
Honest, expert feedback on the lift’s condition and upkeep.

Do you offer emergency call-out services?
Yes. Our company runs 24/7, we always have engineers ready to assist you.
Can you repair a lift that’s not under a maintenance contract with you?
That's no problem. You do not need to be in a contract to make use of our services.
We offer one time call-outs, repairs, surveys, and maintenances. All you need to do is get in touch with our team.
How often will my lift be serviced under a contract?
There isn't a one size fits all contract. We will make a recommendation to you on how often the lifts should be serviced, and which level of cover suits you best, but ultimately it is up to you.
Can I switch from another maintenance provider to Forge Lifts?
Yes. Our team can help move you over from your current provider to ensure a seamless transition in service.
Are there any hidden costs I should be aware of?
No - we are always upfront in our quotations and strive to be as clear and transparent as possible.
Do you help with lift compliance and safety certifications?
Absolutely. When our engineers carry out planned preventative maintenance visits they will make note of any compliance or safety related items, and this will be made clear to you in their work report.
We can also support you by way of supplementary testing, and organising LOLER inspections.
Do you offer modernisations or upgrades for older lifts?
We do. If you require a lift modernisation, our team will attend to survey your equipment. We will then discuss with you our recommendations for modernisation, and we will work together to make a plan moving forward.
